    Poorboys Nattys Paste Blue

    I have a feeling Nattys Blue is pretty much the same product as CG XXX Wax. My tub of XXX seemed identical to my normal pot of Nattys which the Blue version is reformulated from. Nattys Blue is a clear wet looking wax but lacks soem of the depth most other carnubas offer, it is also not was...

    Road Paint

    Will be fine, just wash it off well and make sure you re wax after.

    Road Paint

    I would try some clay first of all. Others have been able to remove it with White Spirit.

    Anyone fancy a wax swap

    It's ok, not as impressed with that or Carbon as I have been with the Swissvax bits I have now - Onyx and BOS as pictured aswell as pot of Saphir. I will not be buying anymore of either the Titanium or Carbon when they are gone tbh.

    Anyone got a w880i yet?

    Nearly went for it the other week when I upgraded but the buttons are far to small. Ended up with a Nokia E65.

    Anyone fancy a wax swap

    Where to put these on the clio?

    Screwed up in the ash tray?

    sanding marks

    You will need pressure yes. PC wont do much paint correction at all without pressure.

    sanding marks

    That's odd, tried them on 4 inch spot pads? What Paint is this on? I would use Intensive Polish myself then step up to Menzerna Powergloss if it really needed it. Multiple passes if need be of SSR 2.5 on a 4 inch cutting pad should work fine though.

    Flame Red 172 or CUP

    Or just find a Cup with Climate Control ...

    Cracked leather seats

    None of the above products will mess up your clothes either! Saddle soap is ideal for real leather but not as effective on the cheapo coated stuff in Clios.

    Flame Red 172 or CUP

    If you won't miss toys/don't want toys/don't like toys - buy a cup! ;)

    To trust the mileage to empty?

    You wont, it's orange ;) (Well on a 182 it is anyway!)

    Not good, hope it all gets sorted.

    Cracked leather seats

    I like Einszett Leather Care myself to clean and condition as it leaves a totally factory look. I use that once every 3-4 months clean and condition and then use Zaino Z-10 Leather in a Bottle in between the cleanings to condition it further. Wipe down weekly with a damp MF and you should be...

    2nd go in a 197 today.

    They said the 197 was selling well, but I have hardly seen any on the road round here.

    Urgent 50/50 wax

    Not sure why you would want to use 16 over it? Would wait till after the first wash and add another, but would wait 12-24 hours before adding additional layers of any carnuba.

    My 106 Gti

    Very nice, not sure on the wheels, maybe just the colour tbh.

    best wax for finish on black cars?

    12 - 24 hours cure time before topping EGP with a wax. You could use Nattys before another Carnuba if you feel you want to. I used Nattys Blue before Souveran in the past. I used to apply one, then a coat of the other after it's next wash. With the Onyx I would not bother using it first - I...

    applying with hands (literally)

    Leaving the pot in the sun also makes even hard paste waxes easy to spread. I have done some half and half panels using Zymol Concours and best of Show by both foam hand pad and by hand and can't see any differnece in looks.

    Looking good chap.

    Recommend me a polish and wax

    Main downside to the wax your using now is the durability is very poor. Just stepping up to a different wax alone wont gain you much in looks wise as the main bulk of looks is created by the prep work before hand. A good polish is my main advise. On Silver I would use Autoglym Super Resin...

    quick detailer from halfrauds

    From Halfords your choice is limited. Also it is not really cost effective 8 or 9 quid for a a small bottle when 3 litres /US Gallons can be purchased for a few quid more, and tend to work better. http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=9087

    steam cleaning the engine

    I would steer clear of both steam cleaners and pressure washers under engine bays. I tend to work by hand using as little water as possible - I tend to spray AG Engine & Machine cleaner on the parts in question, agitate with a soft brush. Use as little water to rinse it off as you can - even...
